Find the coordinates of the centroid of the triangle whose vertices are (x_(1),y_(1),z_(1))

Show that the coordinates off the centroid of the triangle with vertices A(x_(1),y_(1),z_(1)),B(x_(2),y_(2),z_(2)) and (x_(3),y_(3),z_(3)) are ((x_(1)+x_(2)+x_(3))/(3),(y_(1)+y_(2)+y_(3))/(3),(z_(1)+z_(2)+z_(3))/(3))

Find the coordinates of the centroid of a triangle having vertices P(x_1,y_1,z_1),Q(x_2,y_2,z_2) and R(x_3,y_3,z_3)

STATEMENT-1 : The centroid of a tetrahedron with vertices (0, 0,0), (4, 0, 0), (0, -8, 0), (0, 0, 12)is (1, -2, 3). and STATEMENT-2 : The centroid of a triangle with vertices (x_(1), y_(1), z_(1)), (x_(2), y_(2), z_(2)) and (x_(3), y_(3), z_(3)) is ((x_(1)+x_(2)+x_(3))/3, (y_(1)+y_(2)+y_(3))/3, (z_(1)+z_(2)+z_(3))/3)

A tetrahedron is three dimensional figure bounded by four non coplanar triangular plane. So a tetrahedron has points A,B,C,D as its vertices, which have coordinates (x_(1),y_(1),z_(1)) (x_(2), y_(2), z_(2)) , (x _(3), y_(3) , z_(3)) and (x _(4), y _(4), z _(4)) respectively in a rectangular three –dimensional space. Then the coordinates of its centroid are ((x_(1)+ x_(2) + x _(3) + x_(4))/(4) , (y _(1) + y _(2) + y_(3) + y _(4))/(4), (z_(1) + z_(2) + z_(3)+ z_(4))/(4)). The circumcentre of the tetrahedron is the centre of a sphere passing through its vertices. So, the circumcentre is a point equidistant from each of the vertices of tetrahedron. Let tetrahedron has three of its vertices represented by the points (0,0,0) ,(6,-5,-1) and (-4,1,3) and its centroid lies at the point (1,-2,5). Now answer the following questions The coordinate of the fourth vertex of the tetrahedron is :

A=[[2,0,00,2,00,0,2]] and B=[[x_(1),y_(1),z_(1)x_(2),y_(2),z_(2)x_(3),y_(3),z_(3)]]

A tetrahedron is a three dimensional figure bounded by four non coplanar triangular plane.So a tetrahedron has four no coplnar points as its vertices. Suppose a tetrahedron has points A,B,C,D as its vertices which have coordinates (x_1,y_1,z_1)(x_2,y_2,z_2),(x_3,y_3,z_3) and (x_4,y_4,z_4) respectively in a rectangular three dimensional space. Then the coordinates of its centroid are ((x_1+x_2+x_3+x_3+x_4)/4, (y_1+y_2+y_3+y_3+y_4)/4, (z_1+z_2+z_3+z_3+z_4)/4) . the circumcentre of the tetrahedron is the center of a sphere passing through its vertices. So, this is a point equidistant from each of the vertices of the tetrahedron. Let a tetrahedron have three of its vertices represented by the points (0,0,0) ,(6,-5,-1) and (-4,1,3) and its centroid lies at the point (1,2,5). The coordinate of the fourth vertex of the tetrahedron is
